I believe that NYU Sterns has a slightly harder admissions policy, so here is the post for NYU Sterns applicants. I believe that Sterns is the ideal school for me in terms of college lifestyles, demographics and majors (I want to double major in Finance and International Finance). My stats are as follows, please help me get a range of how I fit in with the rest of the pool? (I would appreciate it if you could put down your qualifications as well or where you got your information from.)

92 Unweighted average with a 101 Weighted Average(22 out of 170) Taking the most difficult curriculum possible at my school SATs- 750 English, 800 Verbal SAT IIs - 800 Math IIC, 790 Writing, 720 Chem/Bio APs- 5 on Chem, 5 on Eng, 4 on Micro/Macroecon, 4 on Psych, 3 on US/Euro History LSATs - (took them for fun, don't ask) 162 Self-taught myself AP Econ and AP Psych, Educational Psych and Philosophy, Developmental and Psycholinguistics Vice President and Treasurer of Key Club Guest speaker on television for AIDs Peer Educator My essay is about teaching a 6th grader Calculus Some work experience at my mother's store Asian 5'7 and 160 pounds??? Piano player; varsity chorus A bunch of random Math and Science awards Umm ... also spent a summer at Harvard and Cornell with a A/B- at Harvard and a A- at Cornell. Also, they don't look at midyear reports, but my grades are down to like ... an average of an 87 range. =(

Some people are saying Sterns is a reach, cause it's the second best Finance school in the country. Some people say it's a safety cause it's NYU. I'm confused. I don't know. Please help. I'm losing sleep and drinking cause of this. Thank you so much for your help. Also, if you know anybody that sells drugs, I would appreciate their number, as I am currently majorly freaking out.

Look buddy, you're in at NYU. If your essay is decent you're a lock. Heck, you might even get a scholarship. I'd go for UPenn-Wharton if I were you. Your stats are more in their range. And it's STERN, not STERNS.

But I wanna major in Finance/International Finance and Stern's is number 2 for both of them. Besides, I like the location and the demographics of Stern's more. You really think my chances are that good? Can someone else offer a second opinion???

To be honest, I wouldn't say you're definitely in but it seems like you have a pretty good chance. The only 3 things that may hold you back are your lack of work experience, drop in grades, and school reputation. I'm not an admissions officer but from the people I've seen who were accepted to Stern it looks like you have about a 75% chance. I also applied and I only scored a 1420 on my sat and a 3.6 uw gpa at a tough private school. Stern is considered to be much tougher to get accepted to than NYU arts and sciences undergrad but you still seem to have a good shot. I would have to agree though that you should have applied to Wharton as well because you would have had a pretty good chance there too and it's an amazing school. However, it's your choice.

Also, the drop in grades, I hope NYU doesn't see cause it happened senior year. I also tutored people for SATs and General tutoring (which makes sense, cause why would I work a job that pays 15 bucks an hour when I can have people drive up to my house to give me 50 an hour) to add to my work experience. I'm also a Charter member of the philosophy club and got a 101 on my AMSC thing. Help!!! =****(

Haha.. I say you have a pretty good chance. I applied to Stern as well! I had lower stats than you, so does that make you feel better? Geez, why are you so nervous about getting in or not? I agree with you about liking the demographics (it's in NY baybee!) ESPECIALLY for finance. By any chance, is your career goal to become an investment banker?

Hey dude, Don't do drugs just because youre stressed about college. This could lead to addiction and then you would have more things to worry about than getting rejected from colleges. There are plenty of other options that reduce stress. Get a girlfriend or take up a sport or something.
